It is hard to compare Charleston and Savannah. But both are very interesting and lovely cities. Robin Russell who has lived in both SC and GA for many years puts it this way.
In Charleston they will ask who your parents are... In Savannah they will ask you what you want to drink!
A very nice Sunday morning drive tooks us to the wonderful home of Peter's cousin Joanie and husband Bill Roper in St. Simons Island..a drive of about 11/2 hours south of Savannah. What lovely spot they have. They are on an esturary and their house is settled in a beautiful wood with lots of oak and Spanish moss.(which is neither Spanish nor moss.) We went for lunch and then a drive around to see the sites. The climate is great here most of the year. They assure me that it is not unbearably hot in the summer. Where they are situated gets a breeze all year and of course lots of shade, and they have a beautiful pool where we spent lots of time chatting and catching up.
THe house has a most amazing kitchen. Joanie has three dishwashers,! and produced a delious dinner... and lots of wonderful starters which we had with drinks..
Lots of wine and laughter.. Great night. Off to Asheville in the moming.
